Psalms 16:5 in Context — Psalms 16
3 [Sino] á los santos que están en la tierra, y á los íntegros: toda mi afición en ellos.
4 Multiplicaránse los dolores de aquellos que sirven diligentes á otro [dios]: no ofreceré yo sus libaciones de sangre, ni en mis labios tomaré sus nombres.
5 Jehová es la porción de mi parte y de mi copa; tú sustentarás mi suerte.
6 Las cuerdas me cayeron en lugares deleitosos, y es hermosa la heredad que me ha tocado.
7 Bendeciré á Jehová que me aconseja: aun en las noches me enseñan mis riñones.
